The British Library said it viewed the RFI process as one potential route to inform the future procurement of the services.

“The information gathered under this RFI may be used to evaluate potential suppliers and service offers and produce a shortlist for invitation to tender. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise scope of the framework arrangement or the procurement route to be followed,” it added.

“When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for any procurement are properly informed.”

Responses to the RFI should be submitted by 12 noon on 1 April 2022.

The contract is expected to start on 3 October 2022 and run until 30 September 2026.
